This is hands down the best tour we have ever taken. Chris is a wonderful guide, his fantastic knowledge and story telling made the art of the Dutch Golden Age come alive for us. Very Highly recommended.
Thanks! We will send your kind words to Chris!
Our tour was fantastic! Michael was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He customized the tour according to our interests and explained concepts in ways we could understand.
Thank you so much! We will send your review to Michael.
This was an amazing experience with Chris. We Highly recommend taking a tour with him. He made it both fun and informative.
Thank you, Stella! We're always there for you at Amsterdam Experiences.
I took this tour over a year ago and still think about it and tell people about it. My recommendation, don’t go to a museum in Amsterdam without this guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly where the things you want to see are located. Because of his knowledge, we stood in front of Night Watch alone for a few minutes! Unheard of! Beyond that, I wanted an education about a very specific period of art, The Dutch Masters movement. That was all I wanted but I wanted that in-depth and had lots of questions. He knew exactly where these works were. He could give me detail about each artist, the movement and the specific painting in front of us. He didn’t seem judgy when we finished those works and I didn’t want to see anything more. I would never go back to Amsterdam without getting on this guide’s schedule before I planned the trip. Read my other reviews, I’ve never been this emphatic before. My only regret, that I didn’t take the time to write this review earlier.
Thank you, Barbara, for your kind detailed review! It means a lot to us!
Michael was great. He’s extremely knowledgeable. He’s an artist himself, which differentiates him from many guides, who are typically art historians. The variety of perspective was interesting. Highly recommend. The museum is fabulous with tons of great works. FYI - the Night Watch is under renovation now, but you can see it as they do the work.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it.
The museum is very large and without a wonderful guide like Michael it would be impossible to navigate. This was a fantastic experience. You got to see Rembrandt’s most famous paintings and why he was a fantastic painter. Because of Michael we got to know Rembrandt’s life and why he ended up bankrupt. Great experience overall!
Thank you, Wayne, for your compliments.
Our recent Rijksmuseum tour with Micheal. was perfect! He showed us everything we wanted to see plus many things that he knew would be of interest based on our taste. He has such a depth of knowledge about the museum. It was a great building block for the rest of our tour. Hope to visit your country again sometime and to experience it through Amsterdam Experiences
Thank you Sharon! You're always welcome to our other tours at Amsterdam Experiences.
Kayleigh was an outstanding guide. Knowledgeable and passionate about the art in the Rijksmuseum. Very open to answering questions. If a guide can make or break a tour, Kayleigh made this tour a memorable experience. Well worth the cost of a private tour.
Thank you, Joel! We were happy to have you with us!
Our guide was knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our interests. He was able to answer any question we asked about the art work.
Thank you, Sharon! Your kind words mean a lot to us!
Kayleigh was our guide and was phenomenal! She is knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the art, which made the stories come alive. Her ability to connect the past to the present was impressive, providing engaging context and deepening our understanding and appreciation of the exhibits.
Thanks, Amy! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour.
